Services Offered

With a photojournalistic approach, Hayley prefers blending into the surroundings to document the day as it organically unfolds. Her images have been described as simple, natural, elegant and real. She focuses on your natural beauty and authentic emotions, while her down-to-earth demeanor makes even the shyest of couples feel comfortable in front of her camera.

A self-described “nomad at heart,” Hayley is a free spirit with a wanderlust that has taken her across the globe. She has photographed in Morocco, Spain, France, Holland, Sweden, Latvia, Italy, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria, and Germany, but she calls Santa Cruz home. She says, “I particularly love vintage, rustic, and bohemian weddings in outdoor settings and faraway locations.”

Questions and Answers

What 3 words best describe your work?

Simple. Natural. Elegant.

What is the best advice you give a couple when planning their wedding?

Reserve some time on your wedding day around sunset for couple photos. Taking a breather during this time will produce some incredible images and give you a chance to relax for a bit away from the high energy of the crowd.

If you could have any superpower on the job, what would it be?

Invisibility or flight. Maybe some combination of the two.

What words describe your personality?

Down-to-earth and easygoing.

What's your favorite book/movie/work of art?

The Bone Man of Benares/The Fifth Element/everything Mucha.

Extracurricular activities:

I love nature, exploring, dancing, yoga, and the night sky. Burritos are my favorite food, and I love the farmer's market.

If you weren't in your current profession, what would you do instead?

I'd definitely be a member of SG-1.

Tell us about your pets, if you have any.

I grew up in a ranch setting with a ton of animals. My favorite cat is this giant 25-pound Main Coon calico named Pud. She likes to talk, give hugs, and enjoys the ukulele.

Verified Reviews from Real Brides & Grooms

“The photos are amazing. We had high expectations and she exceeded them. Professional quality and very artistic shots of our family, our friends, the venue and us. Her use of light and composition captured the day (and night) so beautifully. Every time we look at the photos they take us right back to so many special moments.”

“Hayley was the best! I am a naturally shy person and usually hate having my picture taken. She made me feel so comfortable and instantly made me feel at ease. She is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! My whole family raved about how wonderful she was! She guided us on how to pose and came up with great ideas. She is so talented!”

“My favorites were all the candid photos. She captured so many details. Your wedding day flies by and to have these photos to bring you back to those moments is incredible. And she was the only photographer! I don’t even know how she did it but I will be forever grateful.”

“Her photographs made you feel like you were at the weddings. They captured the beauty of each day. Her work is very candid.”

“I really think part of the reason our photos are so good is that we felt so natural in front of her. We were all just laughing and joking around like old friends. Beyond that, she was on time and completely professional, just like you’d hope a wedding photographer would be.”

“I don’t think she missed a single shot—and she had such good suggestions for shots we would want later and shots that would be cute. So many of my favorite moments were suggestions she had for us. She was a total pro.”

“Hayley focuses on being very unobtrusive and just capturing the day as it unfolds. This was great, and exactly what we wanted. Our photos are beautiful and authentic and she captured all the ‘staged’ shots we requested.”

“Even now people will often say to me off the cuff, ‘Oh I love your wedding photos!’ They are striking and memorable. And she really nailed the ‘journalism’ style we were hoping for, just capturing the day as it really was.”

“She was cool, calm, and collected. She let us be ourselves, but also gave gentle suggestions for things we may want to have pictures of later. Hayley was so good at blending in that we were surprised at some of the moments that she captured when we received the pictures. That was perfect for us!”

“I will happily rave about Hayley any day of the week. She gave us the best wedding present ever—gorgeous photos.”
